51:56 For a destroyer is attacking Babylon. 1
Her warriors will be captured;
their bows will be broken. 2
For the Lord is a God who punishes; 3
he pays back in full. 4
51:57 “I will make her officials and wise men drunk,
along with her governors, leaders, 5 and warriors.
They will fall asleep forever and never wake up,” 6
says the King whose name is the Lord who rules over all. 7
